Suns Coach 2018-19

[jonh]

It really might be hard to keep up with the team if the offseason turns out to be as disappointing as these last 8 years have been. Its been a long, rough stretch of basketball.

Kokoskov is my top guy for now but I am sick and tired of these coaching candidates pulling out. I didn't even know that was a thing. (Keep your minds out of the gutter.) I don't recall hearing about coaches pulling their names out of contention during coaching searches. What in the F is going on?

I think it's partly that we are bad at managing our media presence. We may be hearing about things that are somewhat normal, but it's not in the media with other teams in here.

[carey]

I didn't want Fizdale, but I'm bummed to hear he doesn't want the Suns if that makes sense. I am starting to wonder if Sarver's reputation is too much to overcome. We've had 4 different head coaches in the last 6 seasons. That's.. not great .

https://twitter.com/esidery/status/988519060055851009 Makes sense why their going after him.

Ugh. Barf.

Del Negro actually gets his teams to win. But EVERYONE ends up hating him along the way.

[INFORMER]

I'm hoping for Kokoskov.

I wouldn't be disappointed.

It's not doom and gloom yet. I didn't have Fizdale in my top 3 or 4 anyway. I still think if the lottery finally falls in the Suns favor that things could turn around quickly.

I had Fizdale near the top but slowed my roll after the second hand hooker anecdote.

Sorry. I had heard those stories and then they popped back in my head when i heard his name was brought up; so I reached out and reconfirmed with my buddy that it was indeed Fizdale before I shared. It was one of those things where I felt it was a disservice not to at least mention on here.

Wait a damn minute. Are you saying people didn't buy into "We are P-H-X?" Blasphemy.

Maybe next years slogan can be "Sorry about last year(s)"

[Split T]

I'm hoping this is a the Suns wanted them to make a commitment now as they want a coach in place soon issue and fizdale and budenholzer want to wait and see what other options are out there(Portland/Milwaukee). We've pressured them to make a decision and they have dropped out. That would make me feel a little better than if they just flat out don't want the job. Or that we're low balling people.

Suns looking to interview former player Luc Longley for Head Coach
by Jason Travonborg Arizona Sports Dailey

Robert Sarver has been speaking to Ryan McDonough this week regarding the coaching search. According to sources, Sarver is upset that Ryan has not maximized the opportunities to bring in former Suns players to take over. He feels the We are P-H-X movement will be stronger than ever next year and he wants the ship to be piloted by a former Sun who can bring the fan base back together.

"Luc Longely" was one of the most beloved Suns centers and arguably one of the most important centers and human beings in league history. As a former Shrimp Gardner focusing his talents on handling his shrimp Longely developed a red plague that he spread across the league in a devastating fashion. A protege of former as Suns coach Frank Johnson - Longely was known as "the red sun" by fellow teammates. Al McCoy once called him "Big Red" after seeing him in the showers by accident during a crafting convention put together by the last Suns Head Coach Earl Watson.

"It was great. Big Red was there! I saw more than I expected" said McCoy. Sarver thinks Longely could be the guy to transform the Suns and get them back into the playoffs. Other coaches are being considered including Jason Kidd who is insisting the Suns throw french fries at their wives in order for him to make the move. Kidd says he and Longely could stand together to pilot the Suns to another 10 years of missing the playoffs and harboring the basketball ownership apocalypse that Sarver has been developing for over 10 years. Sarver said he hopes the Suns can again be eliminated in the first round. "The penis is mightier than the sword and I just am hoping we can grasp the penis by the pen" said Sarver from his mason jar candle factory located in downtown Phoenix "I love when I see myself in the mirror and then I lick the head of a rat - it helps me regenerate the cells of my inhumane monster body" noted Sarver.

Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and Sarver have discussed joining forces to form a giant dildo factory in downtown Phoenix where the current Suns arena is. The Suns will play at the factory and help produce dildos and sex toys during off hours. "I think the fellas will like it !" said Sarver from his lair deep within the bowels of Metrocenter, his beloved home "this place feels like how I want the Suns to be - prosperous"

With any luck, an amazing coach Longely, Kidd or one of histories most impressive coaching candidates Vincent "Vinnie" Del Negro will coach the team. Someone like Del Negro would open a floodgate of free agent talents due to his undeniable reputation as a guy players absolutely love. Sarver things the We are P-H-X movement will collide with a coach. like Del Negro and open a portal into another dimension that destroys all mankind.

LOL. Mori sends out the bat signal and Robot delivers!

Ha. No worries. I appreciate the deep insider content you can't get anywhere else!

[Superbone]

BTW, I haven't seen any confirmation anywhere that Fizdale has withdrawn his name from our coaching search.

[Shabazz]

I'm not seeing or hearing this Fizdale news anywhere else. Can someone provide a link? Was it just on Gambo's radio show?

[Shabazz]

Looks like we're on the same page, Bone.

[specialsauce]

When I was listening on the radio Gambo had texted his sources asking about Fiz and if it was true he had withdrawn . He wasn’t getting a response. I don’t know if that changed later on in the show I only listened for that one segment today

[ShelC]

Well done Robot!

[Indy]

Robot, your story is only like 20% off from truth.

[O_Gardino]

RO-BOT! RO-BOT! RO-BOT!

[Mori Chu]

LMAO Robot. This part got me to chuckle out loud:

Al McCoy once called him "Big Red" after seeing him in the showers by accident during a crafting convention put together by the last Suns Head Coach Earl Watson. "It was great. Big Red was there! I saw more than I expected" said McCoy.

This is the part where Kidd blew the socks off Billy King.... in his interview for the Brooklyn job, a few weeks after his retirement, King probably went through the identical list of generic questions.....veteran coaches of the interview circuit, knows not to divulge too many ideas, just go through general terms, the common thinking is teams collect info for their scouting bank. Kidd being the rookie interviewee, shared details on every player, his scouting report, he got up on the whiteboard and drew out plays and schemes to fit the personnel they had at the time of the interview. Kidd I would bet has gone all in again with this interview....these guys just can't be fooled by it. We know his IQ is off the charts and he will blow a rookie GM away....but at the end of the day, will he get along with.....Sarver, McDonough and James Jones.......

As for identity, I don't think you want to pigeon hole yourself, there's a handful of young kids that have their strong points and weak points. Josh Jackson, Devin Booker and draft pick I would imagine will be the "Big 3" going forward. You need to draft the best available players at your pick, not say, okay, I said we'd be a run and gun team, so I will draft only shooters, even though the other player is a lot better. You have to be open to be able to manipulate your scheme to better suit the personnel you got, can get.

Love to read that about Kidd killing his interview with the Nets (Kidd was my favorite player gowing up). Still, his performance in MIL was not stellar and I am not confident he'll extract the most out of our kids. Kokoskov seems better in that regard. And the way MIL neglected shooting under Kidd is truly a concern to me (without achieving grest defense in exchange).
